TELLING PUKEKOHE’S STORY

Nau mai, haere mai Welcome to Pukekohe

PUKEKOHE IS AN EXCEPTIONAL PLACE TO WORK, LIVE, AND PLAY. WHEN YOU VISIT OUR TOWN AND HERITAGE MAIN STREET, YOU BECOME A PART OF OUR VIBRANT, DIVERSE AND WELCOMING COMMUNITY.

A warm welcome from the Pukekohe Business Association.

Pukekohe is an excellent place to base and grow your business. Whether you are supplying products and services to local residents, manufacturing for national distribution or growing produce to feed New Zealand and the world, we are thrilled to have you join us. The town is named for its dominant feature, Pukekohe Hill. This dormant volcano contributes to the fertile soil that, along with a mild climate and high rainfall, has made the region famous as the food bowl of New Zealand. Pukekohe means “hill of the kohekohe”; kohekohe is a native hardwood tree. We acknowledge Ngāti Te Ata and Ngāti Tamaoho as Mana Whenua in this area.

Pukekohe is part of the Golden Triangle, the region between Auckland, Hamilton, and Tauranga which generates most of New Zealand’s GDP. The Auckland Plan identified Pukekohe as a priority satellite town, growing by 50,000 people and creating 9,000 new jobs over the next 30 years. Under the Auckland Unitary Plan, land around Pukekohe has been designated as a Future Urban Zone for residential, business and industrial use. Pukekohe is also receiving support from Eke Panuku, Auckland Council’s property development arm, to develop and furtureproof the town centre. New developments are already underway, as part of a staged development process, and will create up to 6,000 new homes. These will include medium density dwellings and apartments, to accommodate a range of future demographics. Even as it grows, Pukekohe will continue to deliver on its reputation as a well-connected town with outstanding lifestyle quality and a vibrant village atmosphere. We look forward to working with you. Pukekohe Business Association team,
